US-UK Presence in Yemen Is Legitimate Target for Armed Forces

The Shura Council condemned the US military moves in the eastern and southern governorates, and the entry of US soldiers into a number of schools in Hadramout Governorate.

The council made it clear in a statement that America’s aggressive moves confirm US and UK’s colonial endeavors that are not aimed at peace in Yemen.

It pointed out that the US moves confirm that Washington seeks to subjugate all the cards of the Yemeni situation to achieve its goals and replace the demands of the Yemeni people with its interests.

The statement considered the presence of US soldiers in a number of educational facilities in Hadhramout governorate a flagrant violation of Yemeni sovereignty, and expresses the extent of the state of submission reached by the tools of aggression.

The Shura Council warned of the consequences of US and UK continuing to ignore the calls and keenness of Sana’a to bring peace to Yemen and the region in general.

The Shura Council also confirmed, in its statement, that the US-UK plans have become exposed to the Yemeni people, which makes their presence a legitimate goal for the armed forces and the free Yemeni people.

For his part, Hadhramout Governor Luqman Barras denounced Thursday the arrival of the Washington ambassador and dozens of US Marines to the province.

He stressed that the hostile movements in the various southern governorates, on land and at sea, are monitored by the Armed Forces and the free people of Hadhramaut.

The Governor of Hadhramaut considered this appearance of US troops a new challenge to the will of the free people of Hadhramaut, who rejected the positioning of the invading British forces in Gail Bawazir, northeast of the city of Mukalla.

He indicated that the people rejected the provocative American moves and condemned the visit of the Marines to secondary schools in the city.

Governor Paras stressed that the American, British, Saudi and Emirati presence in the oil province and the occupied southern provinces, with the aim of plundering wealth, will not last long.

He held the pro-aggression government responsible for neglecting national sovereignty.
